Schedule an Art Journaling Session
Art journaling is a method that combines writing with doodling, painting and mark making. It’s a wonderful way to express your emotions. It can also be a technique for combating anxiety and managing stress. This workshop is perfect for teens and adults. Gather your friends and book a session to learn all the benefits of keeping an art journal.
Customer feedback:
"Journaling with Jennifer was a different experience. It was fun, enlightening, and encouraging. With her guidance, I leaped into it with arms wide open and surprised myself. I'd have never been able to accomplish what I did on my own. A single workshop opened up possibilities. I think I may have found a new adventure." ––Zee L.
